“NOT-so-whole” -“whole grain” crackers face new court action

The Daily Intake by Keller and Heckman LLP summarize Kellogg Co.’s latest label troubles with “whole-grain” CHEEZ-IT crackers. Plaintiffs brought the original lawsuit because “whole grains” were not the first or even second ingredients in the snacks. The case was dismissed in 2017 but resurfaced following the court appeals process.

How the appeal’s court views the label content vs the original judge’s view is a reminder of the “luck of the draw” and “just cause your neighbor is doing it….it may not be in your favor.”
